Knitting a tube pattern on two
needles is quite easy. This is an article showing you how it
is done with yarn and needle sizes for lightweight or double
knitting, plus an easy tube scarf pattern.
The baby shoulderette is
perfect for baby girls to wear over a pretty dress or boys and
girls to wear over a shirt as a poncho style sweater. Make it
in pretty pastels or use bright colours. |

Silhouette
Portraits and Shadow Plays
-
Kid
Crafts |
|
Before cameras,
people immortalized themselves with silhouette portraits.
They are easy to do and quite fascinating for children. Once
they have done a portrait, they might like to try using other
objects or toys. Children love
to dress up and play pretend. Even older children love to put
on skits. Children can put on a very realistic skit by using
shadows. |

Chair Sets |
|
Chair sets are eye catching. As part of the room décor, they
were crocheted in beautiful, intricate designs and shapes. Enter a room in your home with fresh eyes and imagine. |
|
Needle Weaving |
|
Pulled or drawn thread
weaving requires you pull out vertical threads and then with Needle
Weaving, weave over and under the remaining horizontal groups of threads.
Alternately, you can place threads on a loom and work on these with needle
weaving. This is an article from a 1938 crafts magazine explaining with
diagrams how to do needle weaving, and giving a pattern for pillows. |

Button Knots |
|
|
Have you ever found a
sweater or dress that you wanted to buy because it was very pretty or on
sale but didn't buy it simply because of the plain buttons? You can very
easily turn a plain article of clothing into something very special with
button knots. |
